Trapped in Myanmar: A Survival Story. Content Warning.
Two years ago, I found myself in a situation I never imagined: trapped in Myanmar, held captive by a group of scammers. It all started with what seemed like an innocent job offer, but it quickly turned into a nightmare.

Theirs no hard truth than this statement
Life Is Too Short, and We All Should Live It As Per Our WillThe truth about life is that we are all going to die sooner or later. It is an uncomfortable fact, but with time, it engrains the importance of living life on your own terms. It is true that all of us have seen people who spend their lives crumpled in seeking validation or admiration from others around them. No matter how hard they try, they end up thinking that elements of greatness are present in the eyes of people and not within the individuals themselves. Which is indeed a false perception and in fact the core of my healthy living angle.

AUDIOBOOKS WERE MADE FOR BLIND PEOPLE
As a compulsive reader of physical books, I tend to cue up an audiobook not so much as a sonic counterpart to print but as a portable verbal atmosphere to accompany some errand or everyday hustle. I don’t drive and haven’t had a valid driver’s license in twenty years, so I never have the opportunity to tackle, say, all of “Beowulf” or “Don Quixote” during a regular commute. But I’ve taken in “The Waste Land” while waiting in line at the post office, listened to Richard Feynman explain electromagnetism on the 7 train out to Citi Field, heard Marx anatomize the commodity form while walking trails in Van Cortlandt Park, had Iris Murdoch’s swirling sentences in my earbuds while ordering an everything bagel (lightly toasted). Once at a Key Food in Riverdale, I became so entranced by the mellifluous unctuousness of Jeremy Irons reading “Lolita” that, in my fugue state, the names of the different Triscuit varieties on the shelves were mystically annexed to Humbert Humbert’s monologue: “Ladies and gentleman of the jury, fire-roasted tomato, smoked gouda, hint of sea salt, avocado cilantro and lime.”

SIMON SQUIBB… What is your dream?
You guys, do you have a dream? This is the question I heard the most today. How coincidental, as I am truly feeling lost, unsure of what to do, what kind of job to look for, and whether to stay in my hometown or move somewhere far away.

Book Review: People Kill People. Content Warning.
Violence has increased all over the world over the last few years. Gangs having turf wars, school shootings, robberies and other kinds of shootings. We have had 9/11 when the Twin Towers fell. I was in second grade when that happened. I was in music class when they dismissed us earl to go home. Years later we had Sandy Hook, The Pulse Club and the Boston Marathon Bombing. I still remember the tale from my coworker from Target when she had walked out to her car to go home, she had heard the bombs go off. She had thought it was thunder. She found out later that the sounds she heard was the bombs going off. The Braintree Mall was dead for hours, and we couldn’t reach out to our loved ones as they had turned off cell service in case of another bomb.

Bestselling Book of 2024 - The Women by Kristin
I am book insect. If I see somebody perusing a book in open, I am decided to discover out what they are perusing. The other day, I saw a man on a plane perusing a book titled something like Russian Writing from the 1700s. You don’t see that one each day, but one I have been taking note in a part of people’s hands is The Ladies by Kristin Hannah. Having perused this book over the summer, it cleared out an permanent stamp on me. I’ve suggested it to perusers of all eras and hindered outsiders perusing it to inquire them their considerations.
